"A moderately good Bandai kit"

On a visual level the Deathscythe has always been one of my favorites, and that is why I was really kind of sad when this kit did not go together nearly as well as other master grade Gundams I have built. Let me start with the issues I had with the kit. The colors the parts are molded in are not true to the box art and painting would be required to make it look like the box. This wasn't a big deal to me since I always paint my kits, I know a lot of people don't. The two major problems I have with the kit are the joints and the wings. The posts for the shoulder and leg joints are fairly weak, and can snap off fairly easy. This is actually a common problem that I have had with all the master grade Endless Waltz kits (I have snapped the shoulder posts for both my EW Shenlong and my EW Deathscythe first version), and as such I bored out holes for the shoulders slightly to allow smooth insertion without over stressing the posts. The leg posts are a little more rigid then the shoulders but still can't take the stress of multiple removals and reattaching. The other complaint is the assembly of the wings, the posts to mate the two halves of each wing segment together would not line up, making it almost impossible to assemble the wings. Now I have worked on dozens of Bandai kits and usually when things don't line up you are doing something wrong, and you need to pull everything apart and reassess the situation. Unfortunately that was not the case this time and no matter what I tried they would line up, I eventually had to snap off some of the posts and glue the halves together to get everything to fit correctly. Now the parts of the kit I really liked. Most of the kit went together pretty well, except for the issues mentioned above the kit was very easy to work on. I also really liked the posablity and balance of the kit, as long as you take into account the weaker the average shoulder and leg post you can pose the kit in some pretty dynamic poses. All in all the kit isn't Bandai's best outing but it can be an enjoyable one if you understand it's limitations.
